The Makeup Clique Thread - Wanna talk makeup? Wanna share tips? Wanna ask ?'s?

I was lurking around the MUA boards and they mentioned the code. I don't know if it's the true code, but some have mentioned that they used SUMO on the Canadian website and it worked. I don't have much from MAC (three brushes and a lipgloss), and I have never bought from their website so I don't know how fast they run out.

As for what you need, you need a 187 brush (have it and love it) something from the new "Honey" line, that Mineralize Skin Finish everone raves about, and the Special Edition Viva Glam Lipgloss to send to your very best disboard makeup pal (pssst...that's me j/k )

lol....I got the 138 for my b'day and now I have a few others I want but honestly, the borghase brushes from costco are just as good as the mac and you cannot beat the price. I know they only have them at christmas but i think i will buy two more sets because for 44.oo you get so many brushes. I am going to get a flat skunk brush from mac and maybe a blender and some pigment. I have so much lip gloss it is not funny. oh and btw...i have no idea why i did not use capitals....I guess because school will be out for the summer....JUNE 18TH.

Hey, I was reading on MUA that the F&F code is working today if anyone wants to give it a try.

I know, I know, I said that I was on a no buy until my trip but I've decided that I MUST have a new tinted moisturizer before I leave for my trip. I want natural look for the parks. I want to look nice for pictures but I don't want to spend huge amounts of time on makeup. I have Stila's t/m but it is much too light and shiny. I got a sample of Clinique's Moisture Sheer Tint and I think I'm going to get it. I put it on this morning with some Smashbox Softlifts in "Tint" on. It's matte, and gave a nice even tone, and the Softlights gave just a slight glowy shimmer. Not the disco ball head look that Stila gave me.

SEPHORA BEAUTY INSIDER LADIES - When you reach the 100 point mark and choose a deluxe sample, are those points taken out of your bank? I am right around 100 and I don't know if I should get a deluxe sample or leave them to add up to 500 (which could take a veeerrryyy long time! LOL!)

I tried to really like the MAC Plushglass that I bought last week, and I guess I do like it, but I don't love it. Caved in and bought another Buxom in Dolly and I am in heaven. I love the color and feel of it! Much nicer than the MAC.

I also have been trying out a sample masacara I got of Clinque, but it isn't the best. I like the way it curls my lashes and I really like the brush on the applicator, but it smuges. I am thinking of picking up the sample set that Sephora is going to be offering later in the week, maybe that way I will find a mascara I really like. Surely there has to be one in that 11 samples I would like.

Hi Ladies! Long time lurker here

I was at Sephora yesterday and picked up some "Per-fekt Skin Perfecting Gel." I'm normally a Bare Minerals girl, have been for years, but I tried a sample of this on the back of my hand and couldn't believe the result.

I have bad surgical scars on my hand/arm and it made the one on my hand virtually disappear. DH was even surprised. So, even though it was too expensive, I picked it up.

I'm not quite as impressed with the results on my face, but it does a pretty good job. I'll need to give it a few more days to see if prefer it to my Minerals.

Anyone else try this?

Okay, I got the Monistat chafing relief powder gel. Now what do I do with it?

And anyone have suggestions for waterproof, SPF tinted moisturizer?

Hey Barb( long time no see. How have you been? How much was the Per feckt skin? Good to see you here.

If you got a 100 point sample, then they take the 100 points off your total. So you were good to wait.

Aren't Buxom lipglosses the greatest?

 

[Miss Park Avenue]

Hey, I just got the F&F email. The code is not SUMO, it's SAVE25.

Hey Bella!! It has been a long time. Good to see you here, too!! I've enjoyed this thread a lot... especially since our other one was "ghostly" quiet!

I'm not loving the Per-feckt. It's ok, but the sample seemed SO much better than what I brought home. In fact, the consistency seemed so muc better, too. I'm thinking about taking it back.

 

[GoofyforDisney3]

They are and I don't know why I didn't just buy the Buxom again in the first place, but I wanted to try some other stuff. I'm just going to keep buying the Buxom in Dolly all the time now. It is the perfect shade since it matches my actual lip color so well, just evens it out and adds the shine I want. Plus, I don't know what it is about it, but my lips are always so soft and healed (I chew on my lips a lot) after using it all of the time. Better than any lip balm I've ever tried.

BTW the ghostly thread is up and running again. Check it out. Couple of really good stories onthere lately.

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

Did anyone else get anything at the MAC FF sale? I got the large paddle brush, small eye shadow blender brush and a jar of pigment. I had a 50.00 GC and it ended up costing me out of pocket 25. Of course they do not have the full line available on the website. Also, they the absolute worst website of any company from whom I have ever purchased! I had to call it in b/c after 50 minutes of trying i could not check out! When I spoke to customer service she agreed it was the worst website ever and gave me the number to complain and even ASKED me to complain because all she gets all day are frustrated customers.

 

[stitch1986]

I am new to the whole makeup line as what are good long lasting makeup, I just recently got contacts and I have some makeup from covergirl but was wondering what makeup wouldbe good as well as what eyeliners are good cause i am having a hard time finding good eyeliners. thxs

 

[BeenHereB4]

Hey ladies. I've been here before but just changed my username. Anyway, there is a store right down my street (walking distance) being built. They just put up the signs. It's ULTA!!! What do I need to know??? The store is huge and freestanding, not in the mall. I'm pretty excited.

 

[beattyfamily]

Hi gals!

I just got back from T.J. Maxx and got lucky.

I love to go and look at their makeup and see if there's any finds.

I picked up a Lip Fusion lip plumper in 'Smooch' color for $6.!!!

It retails for $38!!!!

Now that I type this, I realize I should have bought more than one!!!

 

[dec5girl]

I haven't tried one yet. I was wondering if some of you could share your favorite shades. There are so many!!! I have seen a lot of posts about Dolly, but I know I have seen some of you talking about other shades as well. I just can't remember which ones they were. I'm going to try one but I just can't decide on my color.

Gabby is my all time favorite color.

Ooooh! That one looks good.

See, I want to get that 11 piece mascara set, but I would need one more item to get the free shipping right? So I figure a Buxom lipgloss is the perfect thing!

I think if anyone else gets that mascara set we should all share what we think of them all since mascara is such a difficult item sometimes.

 

[BeenHereB4]

Ohhh! I have the mascara set. I've been working through it for more than a month already. So far I haven't really used onethat I didn't like, but I'm not that picky on mascaras. None of them have run on me - that's my usual problem with mascara.
